Poor Family Chapter 654

  Chapter 654 Qujiang Wazi

  Although Cao Yun didn't plan to visit Wazi today, but on the first night, the mansion couldn't open a stove, and everyone had to eat in the tavern outside.

There is a small river just outside the official residence. Blue stone embankments are built on both sides of the small river, and weeping willows are planted all the way along the river. It is very clean. Li Yanqing walked slowly along the small river with his family. It is Qujiang Music Square, a school specializing in music, there are about a hundred students, many of them are daughters of eunuchs, Jiaojiao and Baoniang can go and learn."

  Jiaojiao pouted involuntarily, and muttered in a low voice, "I just jumped out of the fire pit in the capital, and if you want to push me into the tiger's mouth, I won't do it!"

Hearing her muttering, Cao Yun couldn't help being angry and funny, "Jiaojiao, I promised my father that you must continue to study in Jingzhao, whether you study at home or outside, it's up to you, but I can't let you herd the sheep!"

  Cao Jiaojiao didn't say a word, Baoyan took her hand, shook her hand and said with a smile: "Sister Jiaojiao, let's study together and raise birds together, okay?"

  Hearing the last sentence, Jiaojiao's face suddenly burst into a smile, "There must be a shop selling birds in the Wasi, let's go shopping later!"

The crowd walked along the small river for about 200 steps, and then they arrived at the southwest entrance of Qujiang Wazi. Qujiang Wazi ranked second among the five Jingzhao Wazi. The whole Wazi covers an area of ​​about 200 mu. Looking at it, the tile is in the shape of "Hui", consisting of two parts, the inside and the outside. There are eight gates to the outside. The main gate is on the north side, and the southwest gate is a place for selling flowers, birds, fish and insects.

  Cao Jiaojiao is also hungry, so she can't take care of bird watching for the time being, but she has already found a way, and she is going to bring Bao Niang to buy birds when she returns home.

Passing through the flower market, the hustle and bustle of the atmosphere immediately rushed forward, and I saw that the two sides were crowded with shops of all sizes, and the streets were full of people, and at this time, more than a dozen soldiers ran forward and surrounded the two sides. When pedestrians stopped him, Li Yanqing took his family into the Qujiang Bieyuan tavern directly opposite.

The tavern is very big, and the lobby is full of guests, but instead of going into the lobby, they take the stairs next to it and directly enter an elegant room on the second floor. Two charcoal pots are lit in the elegant room, making the room as warm as spring. There were seven of them, including two wet nurses who were holding the baby, making a total of nine people. The soldiers ate in the hall, and the rest of the servants gave 500 Wen each to eat outside.

  Li Yanqing smiled and waved his hands, "I have already ordered the food and wine, and they will be delivered right away. Everyone, sit down as you please!"

Everyone took off their caps and cloaks one after another, and sat down at the big table. Two nurses sat at the end with their children in their arms. Two maids came in and poured hot tea for them. After waiting for a while, three bartenders carried Walking in with a big food cage, one after another dish was brought up like flowing water, and several jugs of wine were also brought up immediately.

   "Scholar, I want to drink too!" Jiaojiao couldn't help shouting when she saw that her elder sister didn't have her share of wine glasses.

  Cao Yun glared at her, "What kind of wine do you drink as a child, just drink tea. See how good Bao Niang is, don't say anything, and you have more opinions!"

   "Bao Niang is a child, so of course she can't drink alcohol, but she has grown up, so she can have a drink." Jiaojiao added, "The old man also allowed me to drink during the Chinese New Year."

  Li Yanqing said with a smile: "Yunniang, today's wine is sweet rice wine, she and Baoniang can drink a little, it's okay."

  The husband opened his mouth, and Cao Yun handed her a wine glass, "Okay! Don't drink too much, only one drink."

  Cao Jiaojiao cheered, and quickly poured a glass of wine for herself and Baoniang.

  At this time, Li Yanqing stood up and said: "Today is for family reunion, we drank this toast!"

   "Cheers!" Everyone cheered and drank together.

  Cao Jiaojiao drank the wine in one gulp, but took advantage of her elder sister's unpreparedness, and secretly poured herself another glass of wine, only to find that her brother-in-law was watching her pouring the wine, Jiaojiao blushed, and quickly grinned.

  At this time, Zhang Ying's voice came from outside the door, "My fellow zhi and his family are having dinner, so it is inconvenient for outsiders to disturb you!"

   "I'm not considered an outsider, and I'm also a colleague of Li Tongzhi. I'm here to toast him with a glass of wine. How can I refuse people thousands of miles away?"

   This seemed to be the voice of the magistrate Yang Xuzhou. Li Yanqing was taken aback, picked up the wine glass, got up and walked out, opened the door, and saw Yang Xuzhou and two officials standing outside the door holding the wine.

  Li Yanqing smiled and said, "Why is Prefect Yang here?"

  Yang Xuzhou seemed to have had a few too many drinks, his face was flushed, he laughed and said, "This restaurant is opened by my brother-in-law, so I came to cheer on it. I just heard from the yamen servant that I saw Li Tongzhi and his family, so I came over to say hello!"

   "So that's how it is, come on! I offer a toast to Prefect Yang, and I'll do it first!"

   Li Yanqing drank the wine in a toast, shook the wine glass, Yang Xuzhou also drank the wine in the glass, and asked with a smile: "Why don't you come out and meet your younger siblings?"

   Li Yanqing was suddenly displeased. How did he say this? Can you meet other people's wives and daughters casually on this occasion?

  Beside Zhang Ying snorted heavily and clenched his fists. Li Yanqing quickly gave Zhang Ying a wink, and smiled at the two officials behind Yang Xuzhou: "Wu Canjun and Master Zhang are also here to toast, right?"

  The two officials quickly raised their glasses and said, "We are here to respect our colleagues!"

   "You're welcome, these past few months have caused trouble for the two of you."

  At this time, Yang Xuzhou staggered and walked into the room, "I'm going to offer a glass of wine to my brother and sister!"

  Furious, Zhang Ying grabbed Yang Xuzhou by the neck, dragged him out, and pushed him a few steps away.

  Yang Xuzhou was also angry, "Li Tongzhi, what's the matter with your subordinate, you provoke me again and again, do you think I have no temper?"

  Li Yanqing said coldly: "Prefect Yang, you drank a little too much today, go and have a rest first!"

He winked at the two officials next to him, and the two officials secretly scolded Yang Xuzhou for being rude after drinking, and hurriedly stepped forward to set up Yang Xuzhou, one on the left and one on the right, "Mr. No wonder!"

  Li Yanqing smiled and nodded, "Take Yang Zhifu to have a good rest!"

   "Who said I drank too much, Li Tongzhi, I haven't had a drink with my siblings yet!"

  The two officials wanted to take off their socks and plug the magistrate's stinky mouth. Together, they dragged him into another room.

  Li Yanqing snorted coldly, turned around and patted Zhang Ying on the shoulder, "Go down and eat! We don't need it here for now."

   "Humble job, arrange for two brothers to come up!"

  Zhang Ying walked down quickly, Li Yanqing returned to his desk and sat down, Cao Yun asked with a smile: "What's going on outside?"

   "Prefect Jingzhao Yang, he drank too much and came here to talk nonsense. I have asked other officials to drag him away."

   "Will your husband offend him by talking to him like this?"

  Li Yanqing shook his head, dismissively said: "It's not that I offended him, but that he offended me. Let's see! He will definitely come to apologize to me tomorrow morning."

  Sisi smiled and said: "It seems that Fulang is quite powerful in Jingzhao Mansion!"

  Li Yanqing waved his hand with a smile, "The official authority in Jingzhao is only average. If it is true, the official authority was full when he was in Jiayu County. What he said was unambiguous. It is nostalgic!"

  Everyone laughed together, Cao Yun pointed at her husband and sighed: "You! You are so worthless, and you still miss the days of the eighth-rank sesame official."

Everyone talked about the interesting things in Jiayu County again, the atmosphere became lively, everyone drank a few more glasses of wine, Jiaojiao and Baoniang were already full, and the two discussed going to buy birds, Li Yanqing quickly called two relatives Soldiers went with them.

  At this moment, Hu Qing'er walked up to Li Yanqing with a glass of wine, pursed her lips and said with a smile, "I offer a glass of wine to elder brother."

  Li Yanqing said with a smile: "Your glass of wine is not good, tell me! What do you want to do?"

   "Brother, you promised me during the Northern Expedition last time, I'm so bored at home!"

   "How is your throwing stone and throwing knife?"

   "I have been practicing hard, and I dare not fall behind for a day."

  Beside Cao Yun said with a smile: "Qing'er is right, she is really working hard, she doesn't rest all day, husband, please give her a chance!"

  Li Yanqing thought for a while and said: "In a few days, there will be a martial arts competition in the army, and you can also participate. If everyone approves of you, then you can join the army as a general!"

   "Really?" Qing'er asked in surprise.

  Li Yanqing nodded, and smiled again: "You'd better show me your hand right now."

  Qing'er picked up two wine glasses casually, threw them into the air, and a sharp and thin dagger came out of his hand, piercing through the two wine glasses in the air, and firmly nailing them to a wooden post more than ten steps away.

  Li Yanqing was a little shocked, he was able to break the cup without shattering it, even if he couldn't do it himself, after a long while, Li Yanqing applauded and sighed: "You can become a teacher!"
